Fox Factory faced technical problems with their Evolution mountain bike suspension forks. The suspension fork’s damper cylinder/piston can separate and cause the front wheel to detach. The recall includes 12,500 units made in the US.

32 and 34 Evolution Series

The recalled suspension forks are model year 2013, 32 and 34 Evolution Series with 120mm to 160mm of travel. The recalled forks can be identified by the serial number, which is found on the underside of the crown after removing the front wheel. Serial number can be checked on www.ridefox.com

A small quantity of suspension forks were sold to retailers or distributors as aftermarket accessories. Consumers are urged to stop using the bicycles with recalled Fox Factory suspension forks and bring them to the place of purchase for a free repair.
